SAFE Credit Union is warnings its customers about a robocall scam fishing for its customers’ financial information.
On Wednesday, the credit union reports, calls were made in the Sacramento area with a prerecorded message that told customers their card had been deactivated, and they would have to enter their card number, expiration date and security code onto the phone’s keypad to reactivate the card.
The calls are not only targeting SAFE customers.
SAFE has asked its security partners to validate and disable the originating phone lines associated with these calls.
SAFE is reminding anyone not to respond to such requests, rather to call their financial institution directly. Furthermore, Internet-based technology allows scam artists to appear on caller ID that they are calling from a legitimate number even if they are not.
